　　HBO新剧《堕落街传奇》聚焦纽约色情业，詹姆斯弗兰科饰演行业大佬孪生兄弟。
　　HBO即将开拍新剧《堕落街传奇》（The Deuce），聚焦70、80年代纽约色情产业的发展，色情行业的迅速膨胀把曼哈顿变成风月之城，但随着艾滋病的上升、毒品和暴力的泛滥，以及房地产业的更迭，色情行业被渐渐肃清。在色情行业的鼎盛时期，一对孪生兄弟成为色情业的霸主，并具有 绝对的主导权。这对孪生兄弟由（一贯爱演腐化堕落的）詹姆斯·弗兰科担当——汤姆·哈迪在新片《传奇》中也饰演了伦敦黑帮的双胞胎兄弟。
　　《堕落街传奇》由女导演米歇尔·迈凯伦(Michelle Maxwell MacLaren)执导，米歇尔在美剧领域的成就十分突出，她曾经参与执导过大热剧集《权力的游戏》、《行尸走肉》、《绝命毒师》。凭借《绝命毒师》，她还曾获得过两次艾美奖剧情类最佳导演的提名。弗兰科也是制作人之一。曾一手打造神剧《火线》的大卫·西蒙已完成编剧，计划将于今年10月在纽约开机，《火线》的另一位编剧理查德·普莱斯已经开始着手创作后续的剧本。
　　编剧大卫·西蒙称："该剧想要探讨的是当一个社会只剩下逐利时意味着什么，所以这部剧既非色情的，也非清教徒的，而是关于一个产业，以及创造这个产业同时又被产业塑造的人物。这里有引人入胜的故事，性格丰富的角色，光怪陆离的色情业，我猜你们已经迫不及待想要看到它。”

　　Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
　　Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
　　Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
　　Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
　　"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
　　The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
　　Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
　　"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
　　Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
　　The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.

　　Set in picturesque Bath, the series pairs feisty DCI McDonald, who has recently transferred from London’s Met Police, with the unassuming DS Dodds, who has been happily in the background for most of his working life. To McDonald’s surprise they form an unexpectedly effective crime solving partnership.
